I have zero trem technique tbh

I do have a spare Wilkinson strat trem if you end up going that way. off my ESP Vintage plus so its the nice japan gotoh made one.
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

This might help determine exactly what it is. Guess it'll make a difference when sourcing different blocks. FWIW I've put a brass one on my partscaster and I 'think' I prefer it. By that I mean I'm not sure how obvious the improvement is.
